Paris Bleus

Yesterday there were blue skies in Paris. And cobalt French blue was out in force. As well as mufflers, sweaters, gloves and even hats! BrrrrrrrrrrEven the wall decor in the Metro was carrying blue bags.

Stop it please!!! lol everytime I read your blog I get so sad I want to be back in Paris but this time...I want that Blue Bag! I am really starting to not like you...(lol just kidding) I need the cookbook the macaroons and this blue metalic bag! Any Marie Antoniette stuff around? Also will you go to Flea Markets??? Then I will really cry!! Seriously thank you for sharing! Grace

Blue is also my favorite color.Once I was giving a WC demo, and mixed French Ultra Marine with its' compliment, Burnt Sienna, into a granulated wash.One of the students told me, years later, it was one of the most sensual moments she'd had! LOVE your paintings, Carol, of those mixtures.Bill

All true blue?! Those might made you feel blue? Orange tarts will really do the trick. Thanks for sharing. They might be all blue but I love them all. By the way, I found a fantastic Paris adventure that might interest you too. Thanks and have a wonderful day!

Bonjour! Just recently found your blog and love your artwork, I'm heading to your Etsy store right now. Enjoyed you post on the Salon du Chocolat, I was there on Friday and tasted everything in sight. Enjoy the rest of your time in Paris!
